  1. Preposterous, if you want to go back in history you'll see that the jewish claim to Palestine is perfectly legitimate, the ragheads were the invaders. But this war started on October 7, 2023, that's all.
  2. I most certainly do. War make civilian victims. Israel is at war with Gaza, after being attacked, period.
  3. If true that would be fair wouldn't?
  4. This reads like they've arrested 25000 political opponents..
  5. If you you want a decent man, here is Lương Cường.
  6. At least they should condemn Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Hanoi, etc. as well
  7. Because most of them a violent criminals, with records.
  8. So now the question is going to do Trump? I'd say De Niro, but does he want to emograte to EU? Where he'd be welcome though.
  9. Economic growth based on maxims such as "drill, baby, drill" is a crime against humanity.
  10. Why do you think foreigners are the prime target, there are plenty of Thai influencers, much better looking than you, who make millions.
  11. Indeed.. https://groups.google.com/g/usaafricadialogue/c/YcvcyUSt4Jk/m/KR8tSL2gAQAJ "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. • You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of <deleted>. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a <deleted> was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set."
  12. While this is true, we must reflect on the causes that have led to the build up of such a population of primates.
  13. Why would I wish to enter Tacoland? I fly Iberia to go to Latin America as these idiots force you to clear immigration even for a connection. So I banned US amd UK airlines since 2004. They fly these garbage Boeing things anyway...
  14. And what happens to US citizen who celebrated the demise of that AH? They get executed? Anyhow, had a party with some normal humans somewhere in Asia.
  15. Have effed older women since I was 50 myself. Must me young to bang grannies.
  16. You never have dinner with your wife?
  17. Dunno what an MSM channel is, but anyone promoting hatred must be silenced. BTW, in your book, was Hitler good or bad?
  18. Keep up the good work, keep this terrorist locked up until hell freezes.
  19. So how much tax do you want to pay? Just volunteer, I am sure they'll take your money. Mia noï always dreams of a Porsche.
  20. More like a couple of %, but still beneficial for someone taxed at 30% or 35%, actually anything above 1M.
  21. I won't tell you what you should do or not. But to qualify for a retirement "non O" extension you need "over 200000" means 25000, at least. As far as I am concerned, anything "less" than yearly extensions would mean a long life of misery and IO victimisation.
